CMR Research Program

CMR Research Centers

Brief description of research programme:

Main focus of the CVIG is on the development of MR and CT imaging techniques with rapid conversion to clinical application, including solutions for clinical communication, ultra-low-dose CT, spectral CT, 4D-Flow, molecular and metabolic imaging, 3D imaging, rapid acquisition techniques and MR spectroscopy. The CVIG also has a strong focus on development and clinical implementation of Artificial Intelligence (AI) to support radiological workflow.
